Abstract: Real time communication services are used to establish peer-to-peer connection (P2P) between computing devices to selectively share content, such as applications, data, and media. In accordance with the present disclosure, a “Source” and a “Target” are connected in a P2P session or a proxied connection, with each of the Source and Target having a browser that is aware of the other. The Source has a browser extension that allows access to local content, such as, applications, audio and video that are on the Source computing device. To share content, the Source may select a Share button to present a list of local content to share. The Source then makes a selection of the content, which in turn, makes the content available at a browser executing on a computing device(s) of other collaborators in a collaboration session.

Abstract: Methods for capturing at least one content layer displayed by a client application executing on a client device. At least one content layer may be displayed by the client device. An indication may be received to capture the at least one content layer by an activating of a capture button to selectively capture one or more currently displayed content layers. The content layers may show a displayed output of a remotely-accessed service application, annotations made by a participant in a collaborative session, a video of a participant, a chat interface between participants or other. A thumbnail associated with the captured content layer(s) is added to a gallery. A user of the client device may click the thumbnail to select, export or remove captured content. Upon export, the captured content layer(s) may be composited into an image file that may be saved locally or in a remote location.
